"Why must it be this damn cold", she said "It's snowing in my head and I'm left alone, misled And what tender might seem could be vicious to me Melting that snow into ice" With the wind holding on to what clouds there are left She seems so close to the edge Black hair, white face, a generous smile, tonight Night turns to day and the charm goes away, with light And inside I scream and burn from the frailty of mind Why can't this stay for today But I know this instauration as something I need Intolerable pain, but still my own Time will proceed, until all that's been crushed Will be crushed once again And the pain in this time will be left to remain Until all that's been crushed Will be crushed once again And the harder it gets for my tongue to prevail "I never wanted this to come", she says "The words are not my own, but still they will hurt" I'm not really totally oblivious to everything you say It's just that I'm breaking free from the thoughts I want Now the snow is gone at last And the cristabel ceiling opens up Her feet they march away and away and away There is nothing left in this world that makes me feel safe There can never be another day When I know how to behave Time goes astray and it's all swept away I need to say I mean it one more time My hands are cracking apart No sound - just shadows I need to say I'm so very sorry
